About this app

PaletteWright™ for iPad is a touch-first color compiler for designers and developers who need color to move cleanly from inspiration to production. Import colors from photos, palette files, CSS, token text, CSV, GPL, ASE, JSON, or websites. Then build, validate, repair, preview, and share a color system your team can actually use. BUILT FOR IPAD - Work from a spacious sidebar-and-detail layout in landscape. - Use stage cards to jump through Target, Import, Build, Validate, Handoff & Export, and Notes. - Keep Current Preview visible while editing, validating, and preparing handoff. - Open a separate Palette Preview window when using Stage Manager, Split View, or another iPadOS window. - Use Share-based exports to send production files to Files, Mail, Messages, AirDrop, Git clients, notes, and other apps. IMPORT FROM REAL SOURCES - Sample gradients from photos using row, column, or stripe sampling. - Import PaletteWright JSON, Mandelbrot Metal palettes, design-token JSON, CSS, Sass/text snippets, CSV, GPL, and Adobe ASE. - Paste or import color text containing hex, RGB, HSL, HWB, Lab, LCH, OKLab, OKLCH, Display-P3, CSS variables, and token snippets. - Scan websites for brand, theme, and accent colors from readable HTML and CSS. BUILD BETTER PALETTES - Edit stops, lock anchors, sort, distribute, and preview. - Generate harmonies in perceptual OKLCH space. - Use the Harmony Wheel to steer hue, chroma, lightness, harmony style, and spread. - Protect key brand colors with locked stops while generating around them. - Preview exact LUT behavior, step markers, dithering, sRGB, and Display-P3 workflows. VALIDATE BEFORE HANDOFF - Check WCAG contrast, semantic foreground/background pairs, non-text contrast, and color-vision simulations. - Run Auto-Fix AA to repair failing semantic pairs. - Preview real interface components before shipping. - Review system audit findings, warnings, and readiness scoring. EXPORT FOR REAL WORK - Figma Variables JSON for iPad share-based Figma handoff. - DTCG design tokens, Style Dictionary, and Tokens Studio. - CSS variables, Modern CSS, Semantic CSS, Tailwind, Tailwind v4, and shadcn/ui. - SwiftUI, Swift Assets, XML, Compose, Flutter, and React Native. - PNG previews, PDF palette cards, Adobe ASE, Apple Color List, CSV, JSON, and Markdown audits. FREE AND PRO Free gives you practical iPad palette building, photo and file import, validation, and basic export limits. Pro unlocks unlimited production work, advanced exports, semantic tokens, component tokens, contrast repair, Figma Variables JSON, and the full design-system workflow. PaletteWright is for the moment after you find the right color, when that color has to become a system a designer can trust and a developer can ship.
